A cheerful Copenhagen home with pops of colour

Moving in together is such an exciting step - but what happens if you have two completely different styles? That's what happened to Katrín Björk - who loves bold colour and Jamie Søgaards - who prefers the monochrome look. And the result? A lovely black and white home in Vesterbro, Copenhagen, layered with vibrant pops of colour in the forms of lamps, trays, stationary and cushions. Such a light-filled, happy home! Let's take a peek....

Have to say, I do love a little colour, how about you?

I love it when you spot things in homes you can do yourself the same day. Here, a montage in the hallway (next to Muuto dots) could be replicated with washi tape (also love these alarm clock and pendant light DIY ideas!). You can source washi tape here.

Other items: Tom Dixon pendant light, Series 7 chairs, orane fan shaped folder, Hay Kaleido tray, these stools are similar.

More cheerful mid-week homes include this bright Malmö apartment (the neon pipes!), the vibrant home of a Dutch illustrator, and the happy home of Jenny Brandt.

Have a happy day!

A fab monochrome Swedish space

Hello Monday! This home is simply lovely, I'm not sure how the Swedish owners can bare to part with it...but part with it they are! I can't decide if it's the French balcony off the bedroom (how lovely to have linen curtains blowing in the breeze?), the light-filled dining room or the dressing room...either way, it's a beautiful space. Sweden anyone?! 

Entrance

What do you reckon, could you live here?

So many items I know and love: Dining room: Thonet chairs / Scarlett Johansson print / black sheep skin. Bedroom: Rug / this clothes rail is similar . Sitting room: Print. Kitchen: vase / chopping board.

Aubergine  coloured drapes have become a popular choice for the bedroom (also seen in this and this bedroom). It's a wonderful way of breaking up the white / light grey of the walls. Although I'm still a little biased towards sheer curtains which catch the light (as seen in the serene home of a Swedish singer). A subtle white black-out blind tucked behind can do the trick to block out early morning light.

More pics of this space here (including a tour of the dressing room). I also love this walk-in wardrobe - one to add to my Pinterest board - for that day when...

Have a lovely day!
